The Machs have the same Cobra A arms. I am gonna swap mine on to my 95 when I install my new MM K member package on the Mach & they also have the Steeda X@ balljoints in them already.
As far as your question goes, that sounds really odd, because my tires never rubbed until I went to 18x9's w/ 265's up front. has to be the alignment or something???
i had that same problem on my current car (02 GT) when I had my stock tires and wheels last spring.
17x8's with 245/45/17's but I only heard it when I made a really hard turn, or when I would pull into a parking lot, and back up and crank the wheel hard.
It drove me nuts trying to figure out what the noise was.

Come on guys, it's not the alignment....
It's the offset of the wheels. Clearly, these wheels have a different offset than standard GT wheels and are slightly more tucked in.
The fix was given, Mach 1 or cobra A-arms. I imagine most tubular A arms would have additional clearance as well.
The other option is to run a wheel spacer. Depending on how much the tire rubs, as little as 1/8" could be enough. Just be sure you keep enough thread engagement or get longer/hardened studs.

+1 I run those on my fox and even with s197 wheels there is no rubbing whatsover at full lock. Turning radius is amazing.
They will make you car wider btw.
